The Government has now released its Green Paper on disability benefits.

You may have been aware of the discussions around this, both from the government and in the press.

I’ve found most people are only aware at a basic level, not actually realising what is involved and how it will affect disabled people. Most media outlets have been at best unhelpful in their language, and, at worst, not even done the most basic research for their reporting. This has led to a lot of misinformation before we even caught sight of the Green Paper this week.
